Latest news

During the Eleventh Steering Committee meeting (Bosnia and Herzegovina, September 2008) it was recognized that the existing Task Forces of the In situ Conservation Network have long-term plans of action and therefore deserve the status of “Working Groups”. The two Task Forces were therefore converted into WGs.

Past activities

Background information

The In situ and On-farm Conservation Network was established during Phase V of ECPGR, but became operational in May 2000 with a joint meeting, held in Isola Polvese, Italy, of two Task Forces for "Wild Species Conservation in Genetic Reserves" and for "On-farm Conservation and Management". The main objectives of the Task Forces are to bring together and enhance collaboration between the different European partners involved; identify priorities; and enhance joint fund raising efforts for in situ and on-farm conservation in Europe.
